Superheroes With a Bronx Accent

When most people think of comic book heroes, Batman and Superman come to mind. Ray Felix wants them to add the Boogie Down to the list.

Felix is the founder of Bronx Heroes, an organization dedicated to promoting comic book arts in the Bronx. The organization’s goal, he says, is to create comic books that celebrate the borough’s rich cultural and ethnic history through the work of local artists, and to help young people become successful comic book artists.
